I just read a press release about Katherine Heigl leaving Grey's Anatomy, and on the one hand I am thrilled because I really disliked her character on that show, but on the other hand there was some bad news in there. It talked about one of her upcoming non-Greys projects being the role of Stephanie Plum in an upcoming movie adaptation of the book series. I am so disappointed! I have read these books and she is totally not what I pictured the character being. She may surprise me, of course. I remember how mad people were when Tom Cruise was cast in Interview the the Vampire. I am trying to keep an open mind. But on first reaction, this just seems SO wrong...

Have you ever been surprised by the movie cast of a book you enjoyed? Have you ever been disappointed only to find the actor requite themselves better than you had hoped?
